Who is Jonathan Fairfield?

Jonathan Fairfield is the Editor-in-Chief of Hua Hin Today, an established English-language publication covering Hua Hin and the Royal Coast. He is based in Hua Hin and has worked across local journalism, digital content and audience development.

Hua Hin Today announced Jonathan’s appointment in January 2022. Before joining the publication, he worked at ASEAN NOW, where he held an operations role and helped develop digital content and social-media strategy. That background is relevant to the way Hua Hin Today now combines its established print identity with web publishing, social distribution and audio content.

His role at Hua Hin Today

As editor-in-chief, Jonathan oversees the publication’s editorial direction and its changing mix of online and offline output. His remit includes local news, community stories, events, business and practical information for people who live in or follow Hua Hin. He has also been involved in expanding ways for readers to engage with the publication, including podcast and digital formats.

This makes him useful to understand as an editorial figure rather than as an independent influencer. When you follow a byline or podcast associated with Jonathan, you are following Hua Hin Today’s newsroom and publishing operation, with its own editorial choices, sources and corrections process.

Current local reporting

The October 2026 activity check found fresh Jonathan Fairfield bylines on Hua Hin Today content, including local sports and community reporting, as well as newer podcast-related work. The publication continues to be useful for stories that change too quickly for a permanent Survival Guide page: local people, civic issues, events, food, business developments and town updates.

Readers should always check the date, location and original wording of a story before relying on a time-sensitive detail. The Hua Hin Today homepage and its own podcast/archive pages remain the best sources for the latest version of any report.

Why it matters locally

A strong local editor helps decide which stories deserve reporting, context and follow-up. For residents and newcomers, that provides a useful bridge between official announcements, community conversations and everyday life in Hua Hin. It also gives the town’s smaller events, local people and regional issues a route into a wider English-language audience.

Official sources

Background on Jonathan’s appointment and editorial role is available in Hua Hin Today’s announcement.
